Young Royals S1 Out on Netflix

[justen]

Young Royals is a Swedish coming-of-age drama about the fictional Prince Wilhelm (Edvin Ryding) of the Swedish royal family. He's your standard "spare" in the "heir and a spare" trope who starts the series being sent to a prestigious boarding school called Hillerska after his youngest-prince antics (i.e., getting into a fight at a club) get him in

I’ll have to watch. The prince looks a bit like a young Jared Padalecki

I'll give this a shot when I have some data for downloading.

Does anyone have recs for LGBTQ+ movies or series that aren't all about our pain and suffering and casual usage of slurs and all that? I'm basically looking for a romance with a happy ending.

Okay, so I'm definitely leaving out some amazing movies and TV series (coughcoughVenenocoughcough) because you want generally positive endings, but here are some recs:

• Dating Amber
• A Date for Mad Mary
• Ellie and Abbie (and Ellie's Dead Aunt)
• The Way He Looks
• Boys
• Gossamer Folds
• Pride
• Everybody's Talking About Jamie
• Beautiful Thing
• Visible - Out on Television (okay, technically not a movie with a happy ending but a fantastic documentary about LGBTQ+ representation on TV)

one of my surprise faves of last year was summerland, a movie with gemma arterton and gugu mbatha-raw. it's set during wwii so it's def heavy in places, but there's no homophobia even explicitly shown in the movie iirc and it ends happily.

How in the hell have I never heard of this before? That sounds like my perfect movie.

this is next on my list

does it end on some kind of cliffhanger though? :/ with how Netflix has been canceling things left and right chances of renewal are slim for new series lately, unfortunately.

[Spoiler (click to open)]Not exactly a cliffhanger, but there's a clear set-up for S2. It could be a complete story without a S2 but it would be amazing to get one because it's clearly intended to have it.

ohhh okay I like hearing this. Thank you! Excited to start this now :D

Aw, I’m really not that picky about LGBTQ romance so I’ll definitely check it out. I have to finish Love Victor first, lol.

So this is Élite meets Red, White and Royal Blue. I'll watch, tho.

[soul_amazinn]

Red White and Royal blue was so terrible I can’t believe people are going crazy over THAT

[verschreibsel]

I thought it picked up pace when they started hooking up but couldn’t understand why people found it so steamy and interesting. It was like an okay, entertaining fanfiction. And there are better fics than that.

Specifically it reminded me of Merlin modern AUs.

It was meh, 200-pages too long and obviously written by a fujoshi.
